M&S Is Now Selling Cheesy Marmite Hot Cross Buns

Marmite lovers, this is not a drill. Marks & Spencer have launched an exclusive new treat today in collaboration with the iconic store cupboard staple - squishy, cheesy and marmite-y hot cross buns.

Some Marmite fans might be tempted slather even more of their favourite food spread in-between their hot cross bun slices. Or you can toast your hot cross bun for added flavour and texture, and spread butter on top. The possibilities are endless.

Last spring, M&S and Marmite launched their first foodie hybrids - creamy Marmite butter and Marmite cream cheese, followed more recently by Marmite Cheese Slices and Mini Marmite Cheesy Crumpets for Christmas.

The Marmite cheese slices in particular proved to be a huge hit. Available in packs of 6 slices, and encased in packaging emblazoned with the Marmite logo.

The combo has the unmistakeable savoury tang of Marmite with a robust and mature cheddar cheese, the slices bring together two fan-favourite foods. Costing £2.75 per pack, Marks & Spencer's Marmite Cheese Slices are available in store now.

So far in January, over 40k of the hybrid favourites have been snapped up by M&S customers. That's a lot of Marmite!

Over 18,000 Instagram users voted on Monday to guess the newest flavour of Hot Cross Bun hitting M&S shelves today, with only 42 per cent guessing Cheese & Marmite and a whopping 58 per cent guessing Orange & Lime.

You can grab four cheese hot cross buns & Marmite for £1.65 or 2 packs for £2.50 right now at M&S.
